I too like the IH, and unlike the Cat, you don't need special tools if you work on them yourself. I agree there are lots of the IH'S out there and parts cost less than cat. Had a DT466 in a dump and it wore the truck out! Keep us posted Andy.........
Ejc
I use EJC (electric joint compound) ,trade name. Works great, but unlike a wheel bearing, it just takes a little and it really helps. It is also for dissimilar conductors at the same terminal, ie copper and alumnium, ect.

I agree with most every thing mentioned, but I was always told that also, the idle time at shut down was to let the turbo run down from it's high RPM's and to have a supply of oil to the bearings during rundown. We have a older D8 K at work and even after a 5-10 minute idle, you can still hear...
I'm impressed, as usual!!!!!!!!
At the collective knowlege and insight of this forum!!!! I think I'll do a little reading on all the material you have provided. It's hard to pass up 6 totes of potential fuel, but it's not worth the risk of health hazards or ruining good equiptment, not to...

How much stock do you put in condition codes? Does G. L. put them on or Uncle? I've seen some good looking trucks rated HX. Anybody had good luck with a HX classified truck? Thank's ANDY............

B 17
My late Uncle Roy logged 1600+ combat hours in a17 as a pilot. He never talked much about it at all, maybe 3 or 4 times.A modest unassuming man, one of many unsung true American heroes,God bless them all!!!!!
